    Hehe, I remember my daughter around that age loved to watch me play bioshock. She called it “the hand game”. Hope watching me harvest all those little sisters didn’t affect her in any way… I also used to set her up on top of my base with a sniper rifle and a mountain of ammo and let her takes care of blood moon hordes in 7 days to die.

  • When I was about 10, my grandma took me to the game store at the mall to buy the original GTA for PC.

    The guy working there looked at me and looked at her and figured out what was going on. So, he asked her if she was sure she wanted to buy this game for me because it was very violent, had a lot of crime, and was meant for adults. My grandma spoke English well enough but would sometimes get flustered, so she looked at me and I closed my eyes and gave her a slow nod of approval. She looked back at him and said, “Yes.”

    She took me back to that store every release date for each GTA after that until I was old enough to buy them myself. Love her.

    GTA 3 came out when I was in 3rd grade and I remember my dad renting it from Blockbuster. My mom was not thrilled.
    I personally remember thinking, “This is like Driver, but better.” I think we eventually bought it a year or two later, but my mom wouldn’t let me play, so I to do it when she wasn’t around.
